Searching for empty paragraphs

[Yves Barbion]

Hi Pat,

Mekon has a plug-in called "mTools". It can remove empty paragraphs, but I'm
not sure what it does with the formatting of the paragraphs you want to
keep. It has been a while since I've used it.

You can find more information about mTools here:

Kind regards
